As the title says,, whilst at work i have oople on in the background, and check it when i am bored with work, which is most of the time. There are a few people on here who seem to be on the same amount of time. i reckon oople costs companies £1000s in lost man hours every day:lol:



Nice one:thumbsup:

damn I thought you were going to buy oople for a second there and I could retire and chill out! :lol:

As long as no ones company sues me for destroying their productivity its all good :D

Maybe it s more complicated considering that you ll work better if you re happy...

oOple can be some "investment" somewhere....:thumbsup:

To whom it may concern,

If your business is suffering from 'oople addiction' then I offer an IP blocking service for only 50ukp per month. This includes blocking any alternate IP masking or proxy server your employee might attempt to use.

Increase your business growth potential - get oople blocked today!

oople doesnt cost jack in lost man hours at our place...the filtering gestapo software blocks it out for some reason

Obviously, most of northern rock must have been 'oOpling' too.
They've been that busy oOpling that they missed all the stuff going wrong with the business.:lol:


It must cost me.....ooh....about 3 shells a week.
Every time I come ito the house for a cuppa, I always oOple around for a while.:thumbsup:

In ICT (thats every wednesday from 1:30pm till about 4:10) i spend a fair bit of time on oOple, some pages are blocked but i can get on most. I do work and i know if i wasnt on oOlple id be talking, just means that everytime the teacher walks past i open my work and start typing, so i actually do more :thumbsup: oOple is productive.

Anyone on this at school, message for you...
DO SOME WORK AND GET OFF THE INTERNET YOU LAZY SCROTE.

Anyone running that all day at work, you have too much time on your hands.
GET OFF YOUR LAZY BUTT AND DO SOME WORK !

Jesus, this whole internet thing is a nightmare for businesses, bloody facebook and my space, the women where I work spend more time on that than they do on actual work !

Rant over.

I would argue it's bad management that forces us to use Oople. If they gave us more interesting work we would not be on here :thumbsup:

Considering my school is a 'college of mathematics and computing' and we have a large purpose built computer building it is incredably difficult to get anywhere, every single page i visit is logged, i just have to hope the technicions are tired and cant be bothered to tell me off. They have it so controlled that you cant access notebook or command prompt, its like a computer, but in a safe :mad:

According to Dogbert's book of leadership and management, Oople increases the value of every company wich employees spend more than 2 hours a day waching the pics, reviews and forum. If you're wondering how this can be possible the answer is quite obvious: while "Oople abducted" that employees are avoid to produce negative work (more about negative additions to work function on further chapters), specially if the guys being "abducted" are part of the management team.

GO 4 ÈM DOGBERT!

Jimmy, you'd let them know every company about how you can help them to increase value. I'm pretty sure that Oople is used by all the companys from Fortune's 500. That's a really strong argument to show the impact of Oople adding value on every kind of business and increase its visibility.

In fact, being Oople fan is now considered among the core competences to achieve success in high competitive enviroments.

They will find it one way or another :p My friend knows how to make Admin acounts on the school computers but they last all of 5 mins :thumbsup: the technicions find it pretty quickly.

theyve blocked oople at school for me too, because its a forum. i can only get onto batley buggy club site and thats like 2 years out of date....
i wouldnt mind being a ict technician at school, blocking people lol and taking over there computers.

me and my mate once found out one of the teachers passwords so we thought we were in, but we realised teachers were blocked too!:mad:. weve tried everything, proxy sites, no i.p. everything but command prompt is blocked too. so i just sit it out and go on when i come home.

oople doesnt take over my life like some lol. i can bare without it for a day or 2.

ive just been to lanzarote and on arrival in the u.k i realised how crappy the u.k has become.
lanzarote was friendly, warm, sunny and picturesque. no comparison to the uk.
